Godzillavangelists

After a long, long hibernation, the prehistoric monster known as Godzillavangelists emerges! It turns its many heads to the 1964 monster mash, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, and the whole earth quakes in terror! Or maybe they're just running to Ghidorah's one-woman show.  Our guest this episode is Todd G. Levin, puppeteer and filmmaker, and, for once, a fellow fan of the Godzilla series! Cue the high-pitched screams and knowing whispers from Ryan. Next episode's content TBD! Keep your ears open.

Today, our faithful Godzillavangelists turn their attention to Mothra vs. Godzilla (AKA Godzilla vs. The Thing). Like a glitzy night on the town, things start out enchantingly enough, but end up with a frustrating, sticky white mess. Blech. Guest star Melinda West of Sugar Rum Tantrum joins them to talk about Godzilla's inner traumas and to play some songs, including a beautiful cover of Sacred Springs you don't want to miss! Next episode will bring that fantastical, silly, gorgeous monster mash Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster. Tune in for variety shows, amnesia, and all-powerful interstellar forces of death.  Godzillavangelists is a satirical, critical work not affiliated or endorsed by Toho, Legendary Pictures, or anyone behind the Godzilla series.

Fandom meets fandom when Sam's love of James Bond clashes with Ryan's unbridled Godzilla passion. Things will get embarrassingly geeky as the guys compare movies, ask who would win in a fight, and even do a dumb little improv.

Film history is full of lost versions of famous movies, often discarded in their time but reinstated later to restore the director's intent. Blade Runner, Spartacus, Little Shop of Horrors... and of course, King Kong vs. Godzilla. Joanna, Sam, and Ryan chew through the little-seen Japanese version of the movie, finding it delectably clever but with hints of making no damn sense. Also: the Godzillavangelists talk about the travesty that was the Champion Matsuri. Next time we'll be back with Mothra vs. Godzilla, not to be confused with Godzilla vs. Mothra. It's the 60s one, AKA Godzilla vs. The Thing. No, not like the John Carpenter movie.  Godzillavangelists is a satirical, critical work not affiliated or endorsed by Toho, Legendary Pictures, or anyone behind the Godzilla series.

From the depths of the ocean springs a brand spankin' new Godzilla movie, his debut in the animated world: Godzilla Planet of the Monsters! So of course we'll cover it in a timely fashion and not get to it almost two months later! Wait... Still, this movie causes debate even now, so we slice it open and look at the guts with our special guest, filmmaker and animator Greg Jones. Did you hate it or love it? Either way, you're bound to get mad at us! As promised, we'll be back soon to talk about the Japanese version of King Kong vs. Godzilla.

There are some conflicts that just have a momentous, lasting impact on our culture. Brown v. Board of Education. Apple vs. Microsoft. And of course, King Kong vs. Godzilla.  Old pal and Geek Stew host Matthew Charles comes aboard for a rambling talk on Ryan's first Godzilla movie, but the Godzillavangelists just want to cut poor drunken King Kong a break. Let the poor guy swim home and take a shower. Contrary to expectations, our next movie is the brand-new release Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (2018)! Watch it on Netflix so you understand what the hell we're talking about. King Kong vs. Godzilla's Japanese version will come in Episode 8.  Godzillavangelists is a satirical, critical work not affiliated or endorsed by Toho, Legendary Pictures, or anyone behind the Godzilla series.

Who was your first crush? A celebrity? A classmate? For Ryan, it was Mothra's twin fairies, and so he's dragged Sam and Joanna to the front row seats for this episode's viewing of Mothra. Actor and improviser Charlotte Spangler joins the Godzillavangelists on their journey through the incredibly bizarre world of paper-mache chickens and Japanese interpretations of Christianity. Is Jesus Christ a 60-meter female butterfly? Possibly! Next episode features King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963). We'll be watching both versions, but the American version is up first!

Join Ryan, Sam, and Joanna, for their viewing of Rodan, a gritty depiction of a postwar Japan mining town, suddenly struck by the devastation of a serial killer. Or maybe it's just a big ugly bug. That a bigger, uglier bird is eating. Old pal Will Levinger joins the Godzillavangelists as a guest as they begin their short deviation from Godzilla and meet his flying friend, Rodan. Will the power of four minds be able to find a protagonist in this movie? Tune in to find out. Next episode features Mothra (1961).

In the course of watching Godzilla Raids Again, Joanna, Sam, and Ryan discover that the movie hides incredible gems of wisdom.

Joined by guests Ed Baker and Sandra Cheng, the Godzillavangelists tackle the incredibly bizarre American adaption of the first (and quite possibly the weakest) Godzilla sequel.  Next episode features Rodan (1956).

Take one science fiction classic, remove biting message, stir in bored Hollywood actor. Mix well, serve as Godzilla, King of The Monsters. Ryan, Sam, and Joanna poke holes in this American version of the first Godzilla movie while undoubtedly falling in love with that charismatic, Cairo-obsessed curmudgeon, Steve Martin.
